If you want to discuss something I feel is relevant
beccafromlalaland wrote: Kane, You're right I did edit some of what you wrote. I took out items that were irrelevant to what I wished to ask you or comment on. For example the URL you provided for online parenting classes. It was unnecessary for me to quote the URL, it would have been redundant as I had not comment on the URL in question. Your accusation was that I did not respond to your questions. When I removed my comments that triggered your comments/questions/rebuttal leaving your comments "lonely and dangling" I did so that those reading along didn't have to sift through 300lines of dialogue to catch up to what we are talking about, and I presumed that you would know/remember what our conversation was about. Perhaps I presumed wrongly. I don't have a problem with someone snipping my remarks. I do if they refer back to them for information or claiming I did or didn't say something. As for you quoting the Embry study again...you cannot accuse me of dodging because I had already stated I would not be baited into a long drawn out discussion on a teeny tiny report from 25yrs ago. It is not a teeny tiny report. It's a longitudinal study of considerable scientific rigorously applied research methods. It explored, for the first time in all research before, and possibly since, a direct observation of applied methods of parenting on one subject. A near perfect field study to my mind. Each of the 33 subject families were described in depth, each child also. The simple method of teaching rather than using CP to try and create a child response by pain aversion was elegant and refined as no other study had ever attempted. And the basics of social science research accepted methodology has not changed all that much in 25 years. Standards and analysis are still much the same. You may do what you wish, but making value comments on a study you have not seen is unacceptable judgement of that study. To answer your question regarding who is responsible for the lack of available parenting classes in my area. The State and Federal government. There is no funding. The Federal government is not allowed to withhold funding to one state while funding another for the various grants and programs. If your state doesn't have them someone there is not doing the relatively simple work to apply for them. Hence, I have no answer to YOUR problem beyond what I already offered, and why I asked you questions sometimes rather than answer. I did not have enough information to give a credible answer to you. I do not believe I asked evasive questions, hence your rhetorical question that in fact accused me of dodging was uncalled for. My comment "see above" in response to your question "How are they not encouraged? You mean actively discouraged, or not publicized enough?" was to save myself time typing out the answer because i had just answered it above. You have a knack for asking the same questions several ways trying to get different answers so you can trip people up with their words. That is untrue. You are projecting Doans most common methods on me. Just as now, and throughout the thread, when you gave me more information requested I answered your questions more fully and did NOT use that information to "trip" you "up with" your "words." If you think so, point it out. If true have have most abject apologies I only have come back at your with some harshness when YOU appeared to be playing the "Doan Game" with me. A harassing false insinutation like, "Dodging?" I split up one very long paragraph of yours so I could comment on individual portions in the hopes that it would be less confusing. But I see you were confused by it. Perhaps you should carefully read next time. Perhaps I should. And that I did when you accused me of "Dodging?" We both know that was an accusation in a rhetorical form. Upon reading your prior posts and my responses I found NO instances where I had failed to answer you as fully as was possible, nor did I ask any questions that were not calculated to gain more information so I could give an answer...which I then did IF you tendered the information asked for. I did it again in this post, without any attempts to 'trip' you up with your own words. You keep saying that you responded to "The one that addressed HOW you would propose stopping the offending behavior without first TEACHING people how to stop. The One that asked what Punishment you propose for violating your proposed law." I have read and reread your posts...and you did NOT answer these questions. If you feel you did, perhaps you can do a little copy and paste yourself in your next messege and point them out to me. I don't even need to go back. I can tell you from memory, and in a most recent post to you pointed them out yet again. To your first question I answered by pointing out that I would put requirements in the law to provide for services to the accused. I made that very clear. To our second question I answered that the charges and penalties should be taken from state statutes currently used to prosecute child abuse NOW. I assume you are intelligiant enough to figure out which portions of your extensive butt cover....erm clarification of your prior posts I am responding to...but I've been wrong before. You are simply using harassing language to accuse me of what I have not done. Why would answering your questions then or now be "butt cover.....?" You came back at me accusing me of dodging. I have pointed out to you my prior posts responding to the specific questions you said I did not respond to. Is that "butt cover.....," to point those out to you when you asked me to? Or did you wish to make an accusation and I NOT respond in defense of my post's contents? Let's see it again, shall we? Here is yesterday's post to you answering all your questions in full, using citations and links back to my messages, and quoting the exact words I used back then. And they WERE answers to your two questions above. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.p...338b2ba?hl=en& Why are you still denying that I answered you when the proof is right in front of your eyes? Here is a requote of my original posted comments to your questions from my message cited above as to link: "One cannot compel another's actions without due cause. And that has to be addressed with some action. The only legal action would be child protection statutes. " That actually answers both your questions. One cannot get a parent to be trained if they do not want to...so obviously, along with the list of sources I know are available elsewhere (I cannot solve YOUR local problem so don't ask me to and it's NOT a dodge for me to so state), the answer to your question is that there must be enforcement. As to how to force that? That's your second question, what penalty or punishment would the law apply. "The only legal action would be child protection statutes." is my answer. And as I said, I'm not going to list all the states statutes. And that too is NOT dodging. If you want an exact answer, as you seemed to for your "lack of resources in my state," response, and since I do NOT know your state of residence, then who could I be dodging not to have an answer beyond what I gave? -- beccafromlalaland You are looking more and more like you simply wish to pick a fight, and you are an admirer of Doan and his shoddy sick little tricks. Why are you stating falsely that I did not answer your questions? You may not like my answers, but they are answers and fair and as accurate as they can be under the limitations of your information to me at each step our our posted exchanges. When you told me more, I answered more fully. Kane |

Kane,
You have my apologies I clearly misunderstood your responses. The current statute for child abuse involves the children being taken away from the parents until said parents complete the required punishment complete parenting classes and prove that they are stable. This can take Months to Years to complete depending on the severity of abuse, and in many cases never happens. During that time children are placed with a suitable family member, foster or group home. This is understandable in situations of abuse. I do not believe spanking "is" abuse. I believe it is a misguided attempt at discipline, from loving parents who do not have the tools available to them to use gentle discipline. If you propose to remove the children from a home, from their loving parents who do not "know" any other/better way of discipline then you are NOT only punishing the Parents, you are punishing the Children. You can say that a law against spanking will provide the incentive to gain the necessary skills to stop spanking. That may be true...or people will just find new ways to hide their behavior.

beccafromlalaland wrote: Kane, You have my apologies I clearly misunderstood your responses. I should work to be more clear. Your criticism is actually helpful in that way. This is too important to not be clear. The current statute for child abuse involves the children being taken away from the parents until said parents complete the required punishment complete parenting classes and prove that they are stable. Actually there are other outcomes in most states. My state and all those around me do not have a "punishment" penalty. And they do not take all children away. A fair percentage remain with the parent while the parent does the various service plan goals. Some can be as simple as having a "homemaker" come in and work on programs to housekeep, food buying and prep, child and baby care, budgeting skill building. And most important, self care. In 1980-81 when I did my practicum and ended up being hired for a year part time on a work study program, because of my background, I wound up supervising homemakers, and participating in parent training. Child care was provided by the state, on the premises. I used to coordinate those services and rent, or borrow facilities in folks neighborhood so they would not have to travel far....and at that they were provided bus tickets if needed. This can take Months to Years to complete depending on the severity of abuse, and in many cases never happens. During that time children are placed with a suitable family member, foster or group home. Yes. This is understandable in situations of abuse. Some folks have a very hard time getting through it, but have some pretty major life problems that negatively impacts their ability to keep their child safe. I do not believe spanking "is" abuse. We differ on this. I believe it is a misguided attempt at discipline, from loving parents who do not have the tools available to them to use gentle discipline. We agree on this, to a point. Some folks confuse attachment and ownership with love. If you propose to remove the children from a home, from their loving parents who do not "know" any other/better way of discipline then you are NOT only punishing the Parents, you are punishing the Children. I don't. That's only ONE possibly outcome of a child abuse founding. That happens in cases where there is more damage to the child. You can say that a law against spanking will provide the incentive to gain the necessary skills to stop spanking. Yes. I've seen many parents learn to parent better because they were on a CPS services plan, and in most of those cases I knew about them because a relative (I used to help relatives with various aspects of foster and adoption) had the child in their care temporarily. I got to watch the return of the children to their bio parent too. That may be true...or people will just find new ways to hide their behavior. That will always be true. People will always find ways to hide their crimes. I'm sure you can see that that does not mean we simply should not have laws. You will find that laws against spanking have worked in many other countries. And people don't lose their children for 'spanking.' Not there, and not here. People aren't even reported for spanking. They are reported for suspected abuse. My best guess is that when spanking is illegal that won't change in the least. You'd be surprized how many people that spank also abuse. Like drug use now....people don't lose their children because of drug use. They come to the attention of CPS because of the things they do or fail to do as a result of drug use. Crime...got to jail...can't care for kids....tweaking...can't care for kids....crashing...can't care for kids.....etc. etc etc. The only "drug" crime that will result in children being removed for THE CRIME, is having children present in a meth lab. Some states have gone one step further, but I can't fault them on that -- just having a child in a household where drug SALES are taking place. -- beccafromlalaland Best wishes. Kane |

Thank you, beccafromlalaland. It looks like it's a moderated group. Can you tell me who are the moderators? If they are anything like Kane, I'll pass. ;-) Doan On Sat, 4 Feb 2006, beccafromlalaland wrote: Doan, Go to parentingbanner.com in the bluish tool bar at the top should be a button to click to subscribe or join or something along those lines.
